To support the information needs of nurses, students, and other stakeholders, AACN has developed a COVID response webinar series to highlight key information sources about the Coronavirus disease found on the web.

At the AHRQ-funded Collaborative Care Research Network Research Development Conference, key national leaders took major steps toward establishing a research agenda for collaborative care among primary care and mental health clinicians. 

The purpose of the workshop, which was held on July 11, 2018, in Washington, DC, was to explore issues associated with effective communication with individuals with mental or behavioral health issues and to identify ways in which health literacy approaches can facilitate communication. In particular, the workshop aimed to gain a better understanding of how behavioral health and mental health concerns can adversely affect communications between providers and patients and their families. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

This report outlines the challenges to providing integrated health care as well as some proposed solutions. The report also reviews both theoretical and practical issues. It ends with an appendix of additional resources and how to access them.
